REITs Limited Time Offer!

My Sweet Retirement 4 Comments

The Federal Reserve announced that it will cut interest rates to zero as part of its emergency measure to protect the economy from the impact caused by the COVID-19 virus. I thought that this will give the stock market a boost but it didn’t. The stock market plunged further and this makes REITs certainly a lot cheaper at ridiculous prices I have never seen before.

Below are the stocks that I currently held in my stock portfolio. With the dip in stock prices, the current dividend yield had increased which makes certain REITs very attractive. Do expect further downside and do not expect recovery that soon. For long term dividend investors, this should not be much of an issue.

I will probably wait for the stock market to hold steady at current levels before deploying more tranches of my cash.

Screening For Dividend Stocks In March 2020

My Sweet Retirement Leave a comment

The stock market crashed this week on further news of the spread of the COVID-19 virus and also the oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia. Due to the continued bad news, the Straits Times Index (STI) fell as much as 6.03% on Monday, 9th March 2020. As you can see from the chart below, the Straits Times Index (STI) crashed further on Friday, 13th Mar 2020 before rebounding slightly at the end of the day.

During such crisis, there is an opportunity to start picking up quality stocks that can climb back and continue its growth when the stock market normalize in 1 or 2 years time (I guess).

If you had followed my blog, you know that I always have my stock screener ready to identify stocks that gives me a good dividend yield. When stock price goes down, the current dividend yield goes up.

The stock screener offered by Stocks Café allows me to save the conditions that I can pre-set. You can check out my review here on the Stocks Café Dividend Stocks Screener (Read more: Screening For Dividend Stocks Using Stocks Cafe Stock Screener).

Below are the top dividend yielding stocks as of 14th March 2020.

Last, I just want to mention again that the above list is for reference only and we should do our homework before buying into the stock simply for the dividend yield.

Straits Times Index Fell 6.03% Due to Oil Price War

My Sweet Retirement Leave a comment

Amidst the COVID-19 outbreak which has caused much volatility in the stock market, the stock market plunged further today on the news of Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) slashing crude for April delivery prices. This had sparked the massive sell off of oil related stocks.

The Straits Times Index (STI) took a beating and fell as much as 6.03%. With the massive sell off, this opens up an opportunity in the current stock market.

Below are the stocks that I currently held in my stock portfolio. With the dip in stock prices, the current dividend yield has increased which makes certain REITs attractive. For investors who have been hoping for a dividend yield of at least 5% and above, this is probably the moment you are waiting for.
